Wisp Resort is five minutes from my house. It’s a four-season destination resort and it’s a huge feature of the Deep Creek Lake area. Most recently it’s been entertaining a snow-covered mountain for skiers, boarders and tubers, but it will soon be hosting warm weather events, including lots of weddings!
I’ve photographed two weddings at Wisp and have another one on the books for this year. The resort offers both indoor and outdoor options for wedding ceremonies and now has two indoor spaces for wedding receptions. Up until 2014, wedding receptions were held in the lodge…full of windows and lots of space. Now they have the Mountain Mist Tent! I was curious about the space ever since I saw the white peaks of the tent appear behind the hotel. Then, last fall, event coordinator Andrea invited me to photograph the space for the resort’s future marketing needs. I was excited to see what this tent was all about!
A highlight of the tent? The beautiful mountain backdrop!
Wouldn’t this make a beautiful outdoor ceremony space??
The event staff set up an area for photographs in the corner of the tent, so I didn’t get to see it fully dressed up. But from the little that I did see, I was impressed! This isn’t your ordinary white tent. It’s completely enclosed, has heating and air conditioning and the ceiling is impressive!
My favorite part!? The drape-like ceiling and those chandeliers! They really make the tent, in my opinion.
This is just one view, steps from the front door of the tent…
The tent can hold up to 225 guests so it’s perfect for larger weddings…which, when it comes to venues, especially those that can include both the indoors and outdoors, isn’t always easy to find. So if you’re in the hunt for a wedding venue and are considering the Deep Creek Lake area, check out Wisp! And make sure you tell them the JFP blog sent you. 🙂
Scenes and thoughts from deep creek
Well hey now! I thought for sure it had been more than seven months since I blogged last! Wish I could do it more…and plan to as soon as the new JFP website comes out.
I’m not sure I’m starting anything consistent here, just sharing some random thoughts and scenes from Deep Creek on this random Wednesday…

Jessica is amazing and she made us feel so comfortable! Having her capture our wedding was like having my best friend with me for every moment! Jessica's photos are fun, whimsical, and sophisticated!
We are not a stoic couple and did not want posed (or trying-too-hard) photos! Jessica was able to capture our personalities and the elegance of the day! I can't stop looking at our photos!

The best decision I could have made for my wedding was hiring Jessica Fike as a photographer! I was in a wedding prior that she was a photographer for and seeing how organized and easy and strategic she was to work with is what convinced me! She makes you feel so comfortable and helps teach you how to pose and smile and look so natural! She keeps you on schedule throughout your day and captures so much emotion in her photos. She is worth every penny plus more!
